How to make Droid@Screen work in Precise Puppy?

Does anybody know how to get the Droid@Screen jar file to work in Precise (it allows you to put your android phones screen on your desktop in real time).
I already have the jdk-1.6u45 installed, with the path to the java.exe set.
I already have the Android SDK in the / directory with the the adb.exe set up globally (can open a terminal any where in Precise and give phone shell commands or fastboot commands).

666philb:
I'm kinda new to getting things to work in Puppy so I hope you understand my next couple of seemingly stupid question.

I can't get the Droid@Screen.jar to do anything when I put it on the desktop. How do I get the program to open up and show me the setup box in Puppy Precise.

PS; I downloaded your fastboot.exe and put it in:usr/bin, but the adb.exe download site/page was borked.

I already had the Android SDK with all the proper folders. ADB is set up globally (needed for a lot of the utilities I need to put on Puppy Precise) I have the jdk-1.6u45sfs installed which gives me the jre as well in:usr/java.
I have downloaded the jre-1.6u45.sfs you linked me to as well and put in the same directory with the puppy_precise.sfs, just haven't loaded it yet.

Seemingly stupid questions: How do I get the Droid@Screen.jar to open up and show me the setup box which asks for the path to the adb.exe (left click does nothing)? What option do I need to select and perform with a right click? Do I need to create a run script for it?

How well do you know Puppy Precise. Another member and myself are trying to get as many programs as possible for Android Development to work in Puppy Precise. Even trying to set up a build environment for kernel and ROM development. Any help would be appreciated.

right click on the droidatscreen.jar and choose 'set run action' it should be this

Code:

java -jar "$@"

if it still doesn't run, java may not be installed properly, or a different version may be required.

i put adb & fastboot in /usr/bin as a matter of convenience... if you need to use them in a puppy terminal is easier to type adb /blah/blah/blah rather than /mnt/sda/androidsdk/really/long/path/to/adb /blah/blah

yes you can just symlink the ones out of the sdk, the ones i posted were just out of the sdk

Thanks 666philb. Worked great. I also got APK-Multi-Tool working flawlessly.
linux version of QtADB is another problem. Playing with QtADB allows you to do a lot of useful things. The one I use it for the most is to drag and drop any file on my computer to any directory on my rooted phone and vice-a-versa (must have a ClockworkMod recovery or a direct derivative of)

don570: Looks very interesting indeed. Will try first chance I get. Right now I feel like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.
